International Relations Coordinator

Katrina D. Jeffries is an artist, consultant and lifelong philanthropist. She has an extensive background in the arts and years of experience in the nonprofit sector. She first met Dr. Ousmane Pame in 2019 through her connection with Dr. Marie Nazon. After a trip to Senegal to observe a service-learning program with students from the United States and Senegal, she fully understood the importance of the work Dr. Pame was engaged in. In February of 2020, Dr. Pame asked Katrina to join his virtual support team and in 2021 she became a permanent part of his staff. She is the international relations coordinator with REDES and is very deeply proud to be part of the efforts of many at REDES to restore the land, bring water to villages and provide resources to remote villages in northern Senegal, and Southern Mauritania.
